Topic: Leat


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Sojourn in Africa
In one case, LEAT represented 3,000 villagers of the Rufiji River Delta area against a multinational corporation and the government planning to build a fish-prawning farm.
LEAT argued that the proposed project would destroy the largest mangrove forest in Eastern Africa, wipe out all marine aquatic life, and deplete natural resources - altering the lives and livelihood of over 3,000 villagers.
LEAT members saw this as an essential tool to help them define their future role and unite the forces of the Eastern African countries to combat problems of environmental injustice, abuse of human rights, and destruction of natural resources.

 [No title]
LEAT is a Tanzanian NGO, which has been actively investigating allegations of widespread human rights abuses associated with the Bulyanhulu Gold Mine in Tanzania.
In mid-November, LEAT wrote to the Director of Criminal Investigation, expressing its view that the police did not have the moral authority to re-investigate the killings, given their alleged complicity in the crimes.
LEAT also declined to hand over the police videotape of the events that it had obtained, until the police provided the information they claimed disprove the allegations of the killings.

 Plymouth or "Drake's" leat   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
Access was exposed during construction of a private garage in 1984 and the leat was explored underground for nearly 1000 metres.
The leat was first mooted in 1560 but not surveyed until 1576 when the route to supply water from the River Meavy on Dartmoor to Plymouth was decided.
The mill, into which the leat flowed, was leased by Drake as were all six of the new mills built in the same year.

 Bretton Woods Project
LEAT also claims that the Bank officials who visited the site were told of the forced evictions and killings by a representative of the Bulyanhulu Miners Committee, but never questioned local community leaders about them.
LEAT has also challenged the legality of Barrick's prospecting rights to Bulyanhulu, maintaining that no concessional licence was ever issued to Kahama at the time the evictions and alleged killings took place at the mine site.
LEAT maintains that the evictions were in defiance of a court order and therefore illegal.

 About Dartmoor
The leat was blessed by the rector of Meavy, and to the salute of trumpeters, the sluice gate was opened and the water began to flow.
The bill 'Plymouth Leat Mills Removal Bill' was concerned with the damage to property and loss of earnings, caused by the new mills on Plymouth Leat, and also with the lack of compensation that was forthcoming for the existing mills, suffering loss of trade, despite the provisions of compensation promised in the 1585 Water Act.
Throughout the life of the leat, many such leases were granted to industries along its course to enable them to use the leat to operate their machinery; the proviso always being that the needs and requirements of the town should be met first.

 Exeter Memories - the Leats of Exeter
However, the leats were not originally built to supply mills with power, but were excavated for the draining and reclamation of land between the city wall and the Exe.
The leats were managed by a Committee of Mill Owners and a Captain of the Leats elected at their annual meeting.
The beds of the leats belonged to the City Council, which was consulted in matters concerning the maintenance of the leats.

 Three leats
The lengthy Wheal Emma leat was built in 1859 to transfer water from the Swincombe so as to augment the flow into the Buckfastleigh copper mine in Brook Wood.
Hamlyn's leat is still flowing and was used to help power a Buckfastleigh woollen mill.
This is where water from Hamlyn's leat enters an underground pipe that takes it to the other side of the reservoir.

 The Leat Project - The New Leat
In order to reinstate the remaining old section of the Leat, a new linking section was required to take flood water away from the stream and divert it into the old Leat section.
The sensitive wetland habitats elsewhere on the reserve would then be protected from the worst of the flood water and the deposition of large quantities of silt.
The new section of the Leat was constructed between Monument Pond at the north of the reserve and joined with the remaining old section of the Leat some 100 metres to the south.

 Hartley Park
There has been controversy over Drake’s precise contribution to the leat, but it is said that he took a paramount role in much of the covenants or purchases of the land through which the leat would course.
Parts of the leat were still uncovered in the late 19th and the early 20th century, including the west side of Mutley in 1890.
Both leats were blocked with ice and water was conveyed from the Meavy through a leat to Dousland.

 Plymouth, Water Supply (Stonehouse Leat)
Prompted, it is thought, by the success of the Plymouth Leat, the inhabitants of Stonehouse copied the Plymouth Act and submitted their own Bill to Parliament in 1593.
This may have led to the inclusion by the Committee of a proviso that no mills were to be constructed upon or near the Leat that might prejudice or damage the persons owning the mills upon the Plymouth Leat.
As the Leat ran through its grounds, the Commissioners responsible for the Hospital wrote to the Parish Council in 1765 requesting that they be supplied with water.

 Leat
Formerly a Victorian creation along with the rhododendron pleasure gardens, the Leat fell into considerable disrepair, but was recreated in 1993 along the course of the old Leat.
The silt laden floodwater is forced to flow harmlessly down the leat and away from much of the sensitive wetland habitats.
The 1993 project restored the Leat through the Goyle by re-digging a channel and burying large pipes to take the water.

 Barrick and Tanzania Government Muzzling Evidence on Bulyanhulu Murders
Both LEAT and Mrema are claiming to have video tapes showing police officers exhuming bodies of the miners from burried mine shafts, a job which had been done by Barrick Golds' bulldozers under orders from President Mkapa.
LEAT however disputes the government position by saying that authorities were well informed of the international team of human rights activists to probe the Bulyanhulu killings which has become the latest eye sore on Tanzania's human rights record following January 2000 killings of 25 opposition party members in Zanzibar by the police force.
Lissu argues that LEAT met with senior Tanzania Police Force officials before the team arrived to brief them on the mission and request cooperation from the law enforcers who stand accused as first suspect in the killings.

 Thornton - The turbine house and leat
The new swimming pool (built c.1930) was built to the edge of the leat wall.
The purpose of the leat was to run water down to the undershot water-wheel by the turbine house, which generated electricity for the house from c.1905 - c.1930s.
The purpose of the leat was to run water down from the dam to the turbine.

 Plymouth, Water Supply (Dock Leat) (Devonport Leat)
Devonport's water supply, by means of the Devonport Leat, owes its existence to the fact that by 1800 the population of Plymouth Dock (Devonport as it was to become) was greater than that of neighbouring Plymouth.
Although water seems to have been carried along the leat by 1797 the works were not completed until the end of 1801.
The Leat continued to provide water direct to the Dousland reservoir until 1951, when the flow was made to discharge down a spectacular waterfall into Burrator Reservoir.

 Cullompton Town - Official Website - Cullompton Leat Conservation Board
There is still much to be discovered about the history of the leat and the mills, and the people who were involved with their use.
The Cullompton or town leat takes its water from the Spratford Stream, a tributary of the Culm, about half a mile north of the town, water being directed into the mouth of the leat by a low stone weir.
The south end of the leat and Lower Mill are shown on an early seventeenth-century map and in 1678 the Towne Leate and the Lower or Southern Mill there called ye Town Mills of Cullompton are referred to in a lease.

The leat hived off at the top of the weir and ran across the fields and under the country lane which has a SW / NE orientation.
The path of the leat can still be picked out in the lane as there is a small hump in the lane.
From here the leat turned towards Alphington effectively in a direct line with the church tower until it reached the back of the Old Mill.
